Testimonials

As Principal, I engaged with CSL almost one year ago and I can honestly say it was the best decision I have made in the last 22 years of Principalship. The support and understanding of the role has been fantastic from my coach - Elizabeth Garry Brosnan. From the start I was able to clarify my thinking, discuss options openly, and get a focus for a plan of decisive action. Discussing options with an independent person that has a leadership focus has allowed me to develop my own skills as a leader. This is a fantastic service and I am only sorry I did not have it earlier in my career. It is the best thing that I have done for the school and myself personally since my appointment as Principal. Elizabeth is a wonderful coach and I am very pleased with all the support and encouragement that she has given me.

School Principal

Coaching with Elizabeth has been the best thing I have done for myself in terms of my own professional development. I have grown in confidence and belief in my ability. I am delegating more and moving away from micro managing. I am allowing staff to build leadership capacity within themselves by trusting and supporting them more.

School Principal

I experienced Elizabeth Garry Brosnan as a compassionate, kind and astute listener. I was afforded the great opportunity to speak freely, as I negotiated my way through my challenging work experiences. Elizabeth was instrumental in supporting me to clarify my deep concerns within my working environment. Elizabeth offered me the space to explore my experiences and was crucial in supporting me to take all the time I needed, to fully understand and appreciate my work struggles.

I felt heard and "cared for" as a human being and this has greatly enhanced my own well-being. I'm beginning to feel much more clarity in relation to my work struggles and empowered to take positive steps to resolve the situation.
